Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Amino-2-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (778 mg, 2.5 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (489 mg, 2.75 mmol) were combined in chloroform and heated at reflux for 12 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was concentrated and the product was isolated by column chromatography to yield 6-amino-5-bromo-2-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (752 mg, 77% yield): mp 173-175° C.: 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.66 (dd, 1H), 7.24 (dd, 1H), 5.73 (br s, 2H), 4.03 (s, 3H), 4.01 (d, 3H).
